He .said this, doenment proved that the danger from - Zemaun Shaw had passed away at the time the Treaey, was negociated, ana be contended that before the troops had been marched, sore* -communication . ' ought to have been made to the Nabob. The dentind oft he reform of his troops the Nabob seemed never to have understood, but as applying to their improve ment, and not to the reduction of them, and there fore some explanation ought to have been given to him of what was required of hitni 'On the, wbole he could nut see 'that the occasion called for the in terference.' The assumption of territory in the Carnatic, which had been done under an imperious necessity, did not apply, and as to the deposition of 'Vizier Ally, that event had originated in his own violence ; and the circumstance of his being sphrioes; and 'not of the blood of Rajah SujalealDoulale. He dehied that the tratisadions in Oude had ever re teived the sandion of the Court of Dirt4ors tit 'the period stated by the Honourable Barcinet, and' fqr a 'good reaSon, beCause they had nOtrbeen acquainte.. ed with them, and wizen they were informed spe&ing them; they had taken - the 'coarse that the occasion called for, It was not till the'e'eth .• of June,"l'Bo2, that the Treaty had been counnuni tate& to the Council at Calcutta, six 'months, after the transaaion had taken place, and a great part of the impropriety of the Case arosefrom the circum. stance of the Noble Marquis having taken Upon birnself to violate the Treaty Of 1798,. , and to t 3163 one half of the province of Oude front its Sovereign. It might be asked what was now to , be .lone:.? He Would not take upon ' him - to say,. but he ;thought that substantial plaice ought to, be done in some. Manner. The character of this Country was its dearest possession,- and he was convinced that that character. would .be compromised, ;At* the }loose should not, with a view to national honour .add na .tional justice, • express, its disapprobation of tliis transaction. • . -Mr. IVALLAcE wished to say ,a few words, to explain the- ground 'upon which lie should:sepport _. the course proposed by the Hon. Baronet opposite. • Be:contended that the condu& of Marquis. NVellk ley ‘i , at cousistemt with justiee,•and directed to pro= mote the, interests. of the British Empire in Oude Was dependent, .not only for its external de fence, but for its internal tranquillity, upoo tish pOWer in India. But he inusedeny that Oeita had come under our ptoteetioreby - treat?. 1;lie vinee had been conquered, and its.Soveroigneuade prisoner, and every thing Sujah ,Doutali ,end•his . family possessed was• owing - to the inueifieeeCe of the British Government in India. Every treaty:with that State,4tubsequently had been made with refer- . ence to the conquest that had. been achlOVedirand. it was not till the treaty. of 1787 that ihe right wil ternal interference was given up. Before taat treaty appeals were frequently made to the Government ai Calcutta from the Court it Lecknow,.by persons re sident in Oude; and it was one of the etirls of the treaty of 1787, to release the province from that spe. , cies of dependence. The Hon. Gemleteal ;lieu • proceeded in the same line that had been eiken• fay 'Sir John Anstruther:und Col. Allen, :tee prove,. by quoting extraas from the different Papers befetethe House, that Marquis Wellesley, was completely jus T titied in his. interference in (Jude; and that the dice tutted' and deplarable.situation of that Province re quired such interference at' the time, as.well,for the proteaiou of that , Province as for the eventual sects- • rity Of Bengal. • • LUSIIINGTON,:in an animated speech, contended that the principle On:which Lord Welles- lev aeted . in India • Was exactly' the stube as that on -whiCh the litivOlutionary 'Government ,of France aaed iii 17 . 0, and which i, still pursued by. Buena. paste -e-a priuciple. tignitot which this ;Country :oh& Parliament have' so, loudly inveighed. In proof of -this assertion, he traced the designs aud.condu4t,pf i.ordWellesley, from hii first dispatch down to the last a& of his Government in that, Country, and .shewed howeiticdmpatible his principles and prac tice were from those laid down by the best writers on Government, by Groin* by 'Vette', and Pritlen!- dorff, authorities which' he . was as yet net sufficiently fashionable to reject as absurdand obsolete; in short, in the whole conduct of the Noble Marquis stet could only discover hypocrisy and deceit, continually pre- Tessiog one thing andeiraelising the.other: • These . maxims, and the,severity with whieh•they were: put in .praaice, could not be more strikingly exempli fied than in the manlier by Which the Noble Mar quis extbrted territorial security from the Nabob, in defiance of the spirit and' tenor. of the treaty, which gave no colour. of justice to such. extortions; . the more so, as the Nabob at that time was not_it.ar-• -rears in his stipulated payments tin- the.additional 'forces we had 'eegaged to support hint with :.-rand :here it should:be observed; that, after.all c;el4 boasts., ;of aftbrding proteClion,...andisecnrity.:to 'the Nabob and his territories, we were unitbrntly acting in fnre. , theranoe of our own poWer and'aggrandisement, arid in 'the udvancement of our own interests..
